I made a massive booboo last week.Was supposed to go to Bangkok with a girlfriend for her hen weekend but a day before the trip I realised that my passport had expired. Completely idiotic, classic Nabs. So I found myself with a free weekend instead of hitting the spas and cheap shopping centres in Bangkok. … Continue reading Blueberry Coconut Breakfast Biscuits
My very good friend, Soraya, left to do her MBA in NYC last week (conflicted emotions, on one hand super happy for her, on the other totally envious and sad that I don't get to hang out with her for a while) and considering she's been asking me for cookies for almost a year... I … Continue reading Chocolate Sugar Cookies
It looks like everyone's hopping onto the clean eating initiative these days; everywhere I turn I see "clean" menus, friends on the raw food diet, aunts cutting out all processed foods and ingredients, etc. So with Alena and me on our healthy kick, we've been looking up new recipes and any places in town that … Continue reading Hummus Co’s Smoky Chipotle Hummus & Baba Ganoush
The Happiness Initiative has been going fantastically well, and I think my constant smiling state has been pissing quite a few people off around the office. I'm sorry if I'm too perky in the morning, I'm sorry if I gush about how yummy my lemon and cucumber flavoured water is, I'm sorry cos I totally … Continue reading A well balanced diet
Mountain bread wheat wraps with beetroot hummus, tuna & apple, tomato salsa, and lentil saladMy good friend and colleague, Alena, (hello, it's been a while since she's been mentioned here) and I have decided to follow our other healthier, fitter friends' footsteps towards clean eating. We're really into food, desserts, and cooking though, so we're … Continue reading The Happiness Initiative
Tis the season to eat plentyTrallalalallaaaa lalalallaahI've been stretching myself a bit thin this past month, what with a full time job, side baking business, choir rehearsals, and now the holiday season is fast approaching, which means deadlines and holiday baking! We're also flying back to Miri (beautiful seaside town in Sarawak, Borneo, where I … Continue reading Gingerbread Muffins
I haven't been testing out new recipes lately due to being busy with some orders I've received from friends and friends of friends for their weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, and the such. It's been a very looooong few weeks, and I've been thinking that it's time to try out some new recipes.What though? It's … Continue reading Ruffles & Roses
As if I didn't have enough on my plate already with a full time day job, a slowly growing baking business on the side, choir practice, and a sham of a social life to keep up with... I - along with thousands of overachieving fools around the world - signed up for NaNoWriMo. Again. This will … Continue reading The Great Frantic Novel
The first time we attempted to make pizza dough was a bit of a mess... Al and I had neglected to read the whole recipe and used the wrong type of yeast. We just sorta... rolled with it (gettit?). Yikes. So, as I had a bit of free time this week, I thought I'd give it … Continue reading Sweet & Savoury Pizza
I've definitely moved past the pretense of having reasons for baking anything. As you can see from the image above, every day is cake day if we go by the the Mad Hatter's habit of celebrating Unbirthdays. Which I wholly subscribe to.This beetroot chocolate cake was long overdue, however, as Jessica and Angie have been … Continue reading A Very Happy Unbirthday
